    Funniest Wackiest Zaniest Sesame Sketches

    Can't believe I forgot to mention this one. The short cartoon where everything rhymed with "oose." You know. The moose that lived in a caboose next to a spruce with Taloose LaGoose? Now, while that's pretty kooky concepts and imagery, that's not what makes the skit wacky or funny. It's...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    I think the problem is this. When a show starts off popular and strong right out of the gate, keeping up that same level of quality and excitement is nigh impossible. Same exact thing happened with Heroes. It was so well received and popular that the show headers didn't know what the heck...

    Disney Princesses

    I wonder how Sophia actually fits into the Princess scheme. She's a preschool show, so she's clearly given a lot more love than the standard Disney TV show. Not that it's a bad thing, as it's a quality preschool series. It's not a movie, though, and since the Princess is a young girl, they...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    Hasbro's doing it right, though. Unlocking in App things via purchasing physical toys. Best part is, you don't have to own the apps to enjoy them. But darned if those Transformers Angry Birds toys aren't impossible to find.

    Songs You Can't Stand

    At the risk of this being a Glee bashing thread... I have to admit, while I didn't exactly like the show even when it started, I did like how it was an antidote to the sunshiny fakeness of High School Musical. Clearly it was meant to be an antithesis to that. However, it was just as...

    Disney Princesses

    Tiana was written beautifully, and the movie was good. I'm just saying there are some cases where characters aren't as lucky. Thankfully there hasn't really been that much of a problem with Disney movies. But some cartoon shows I just grimace that they make a big deal of having ethnic...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    By all means, Cow and Chicken was a stupid show, but it owned stupid so hard it was wonderful. Maybe Bullwinkle would have got more respect in the 90's if they sold T-shirts where they were dressed semi-ironically like hip hop figures and had Rocky dress confusingly like a girl. Worked for...

    The Steven Universe thread

    I'm suspicious that none of these shows were mentioned in that press release. Makes me think they abandoned both remakes. Either that or they think there needs to be more time in between Mystery Incorporated and The Looney Tunes Show. Yeah, I don't know quite what to make of a comedy...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    I blame freaking Glee for that one. Even though Family Guy did it first, and better. Seriously. Glee ruins songs. Even when people actually watched the thing, it ruined songs. Now it's got that sad little Friday Night Death slot season... pathetic. That's what happens when the show's...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    At the risk of bashing Henson again, look at it this way. The Fraggle line up they brought to Toy Fair is pathetic! The same lousy, overpriced dolls with all the unique characters pulled out of the line. I'm very happy about the Dark Crystal Reaction figures, as they're going to finally put...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    Beats everything being either Dalmatians or Pooh. Seriously. They didn't even have Mickey Mouse during that period. Just Pooh and Dalmatians. Don't make me play the "nobody actually likes Planes, but they market the crap out of them anyway" card. At least Frozen made money. Planes is just...

    Disney Princesses

    Getting back on topic. If there's one thing that I really think the Princess brand robs little girls of, it's proper Legos. You see, there are Disney Princess Legos out there, but disappointingly, the minifigures are more like little dolls, and not the iconic yellow headed, blocky bodied, Lego...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    I hope that dumb series doesn't hurt Fresh Off The Boat or S.H.I.E.L.D. in the ratings. This thing seems like a midsummer replacement on Fridays deal. Even then, desperately so. It isn't even a stopgap replacement for the pathetic romantic comedies that used to air in those timeslots.

    Commercial rant time...

    The worst by far has to be the one with the trampoline troupe. The part where he jumps to the camera and goes "SOOOOOOOOWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!" made me wanna get out the bug spray. I mean, really. Old rappers that haven't done anything for 10 years, an adorable, but overused and overexposed...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    The clever joke here is that they kept cutting the song off expecting the audience to know that the song is heavily copyrighted, then have Happy Birthday slowly starting to sing the song with the intention of being cut off, but singing the entire thing. That's something they wrote for genre...

    Commercial rant time...

    There is a shorter one where it totally removes the "It's Wednesday" portion and just goes from the kid asking if it's Saturday directly to the Trix Rabbit giving the kid cereal. The flow is much better. The long form one, I agree. Took me the 5th time viewing to make sense of it. Especially...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Probably. Uh, you know you can totally watch Rocky and Bullwinkle on Hulu, right? At least last time I checked. I really hope that rumor of a Peabody and Sherman Netflix series come to fruition. The movie only did so so (in terms of other Bullwinkle based movies, however, this was the...

    I finally saw the Rainbow Barfing Gnome plush toy in stores. Didn't buy it, though. But at least GF merchandise is finally hitting stores.

    The Steven Universe thread

    On the subject of the article: It's strange that there's no mention of either Wabbit, the new Scooby-Doo series, or We Bare Bears anywhere on there when they were mentioned in the 2014-2015 line up. While We Bare Bears sounds idiotic, I was looking forward cautiously optimistic to both Wabbit...

    Commercial rant time...

    I kinda like what they tried to do, and it has a very odd Uncle Grandpa meets Breadwinners type feel to it. Trix Rabbit sounds a little like Sway Sway. Problem is, this commercial came out of nowhere completely. You think it's strange seeing it online? I saw it randomly inserted like...
